just woke up and UNNAMED FREAK HAS A NAME?????

AFTER TWO FREAKING YEARS???

WELCOME DOUG! FINALLY I CAN CALL YOU BY YOUR NAME

[1lostsoul0fishbowl]

Dearest unnamed freak: I’m still salty two years later about the fact that you didn’t get a name.😡 (he will NEVER be “Dougie” to me… if they wanted him to be called Dougie they should’ve put it in the actual show and not in some cash grab claims-to-be-canon book that I freely admit I couldn’t be arsed to read)

Fans lovingly gave him a zillion different names and no matter what we call him I love him 🥰

[piastrinorris]

okay friends i would like to see some more communal fandom lore and so!! we all know this guy, right?

there's been a poll going around fairly recently about what the poor sod's name is, since he never got one (justice for freak #1) and i think we ought to expand on his lore a little more, since it's what he deserves and fuck knows the duffels aren't going to give him any more context

so we know jeff graduates in 1986. gareth's got another year and a half left. but our unnamed pal here got missed out of that lore drop, too, and so therefore:

feel free to also add what your name is for him in the tags! it'll be interesting to see if there's any patterns between what people think his name is vs how old he is 😊

Ugh, I had a dream last night that Joseph Quinn actually started Corroded Coffin IRL with the rest of the cast, who was a part of the band in the show. Now I'm sad that he hasn't done that for real. . .yet. I'm still holding out for hope. I think we'd all collectively lose our shit if that happened, though. 😂

Alright, what I want out of this book.

More fun facts about Eddie, the way he lived, more on his music, do they write their own songs, all of that.

Focus on the Corroded Coffin boys. Because THIS!! IS!! MUSIC!!

PLEASE GIVE GRANT GOODMAN'S CHARACTER A NAME FOR GOD'S SAKE.

but above all......

Eddie & Uncle Wayne moments.

Eddie & Uncle Wayne moments.

EDDIE. AND. UNCLE. WAYNE. MOMENTS !!!!!

We were cheated out of scenes with the Munson boys, THEY NEED TO MAKE IT UP TO US.

please and THANK YOU.

This Must Be the Place (2011)

Movie #1,063 • FRIDAY WILDCARD

If you can past whatever the hell it is Sean Penn is doing here (and I totally see how you might not!) you'll find a really weird and original, beautiful and insightful movie here. Not sure why I slotted this one in, but it ended up being right in my wheelhouse. Penn plays a retired goth-rocker in the vein of The Cure's Robert Smith who hunts down a Nazi criminal after the death of his father. It was directed by the guy who did the entire 19-episode run of The Young Pope/The New Hope on HBO which I really liked: Paolo Sorrentino. I haven't seen any of his other work but I am definitely going to now.

The tone is very similar to The Pope shows, right down to the insertion of visual non sequiturs, which seem cheap and artsy-fartsy on the surface if you don't submit to their grand weirdness and dedication to oblique storytelling (I saw some kind of parallel between the Vatican kangaroos and the albino buffalo, though please don't ask me to expand on that).

This movie is not about meaning but about feeling. And while it's artifice is ridiculous (not to mention Penn's ENTIRE deal), sure, that feels intentional and only serves the greater purpose more directly. Maybe it's an excuse to film goth Sean Penn wearing short shorts battling Frances McDormand in a heated game of handball in an empty pool...

...but maybe it's something much deeper. What that something is might differ greatly person to person. I'm still wrapping my head around it, honestly, but it's a place I'd much rather be than where most other films leave me.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼
